Google Play updated to allow removal of apps on "All" list

A new incremental update has started rolling out to the Google Play Store, which allows users to remove apps that are listed in their "All Apps" list. This feature may not be big for many users, but we think it's one that our readership should get quite a lot of value from.

If you're anything like us, you may love to rove around the Play Store just installing apps to try them out, and uninstalling them right away. This can be a lot of fun, especially when you find some hidden gems buried in the Store, but it also means that your "All Apps" list can get out of hand pretty quickly. The "All" list in your My Apps section of the Play Store acts as a history of all of the apps that you've installed, so testing out apps will make that list grow.

Now, users will be able to remove apps individually or together in a batch from that list by tapping a small strikeout symbol, so you can more effectively manage your app history.

As usual, if you're patient, the update should roll out to you soon enough. But, if you have trouble waiting, you can grab the APK for the Play Store update here.

Yes, definitely a good move. I was already thinking about writing a feature request about google play. But the store app works not very comfortably, after deleting an app from list, it refreshes it and goes back to the start of list.

Another useful feature would be an ability to delete the app from list on play store web, more comfortable and efficient than clicking on phone.

Um it does.
You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go
Bet you wish you knew this before didn't you? I wonder why phone arena didin't mention this also the fact that now
The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot.
And
The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
The notification icon after installing an app now shows the app icon instead of something generic.
